Richard Lustig is a seven time lottery game grand prize winner and wants to share his tips for lottery success.

Lustig, of Florida, has won millions of dollars with the methods that are all published in his book, “Learn How to Increase Your Chances of Winning the Lottery.”

Lustig said his book is for anyone who wants to better their chances of winning the lottery.

“I tell people all the time, only spend money you can afford,” Lustig said. “Then you take the money you’ve won and you buy more tickets. This increases your chance of winning.”

Lustig pointed out two instances in which people have used his methods and been successful. A Missouri man won $10,000 after reading Lustig’s book and a couple from Florida won $2 million using the methods laid out in the 40 page book.

Lustig’s methods are not merely for the United States. He said that his book has world-wide application.

“People are hurting financially,” Lustig said. “They are losing their jobs, they are losing their houses, and they are in debt up to their eyebrows. People are looking for something to give them financial relief. That is why people are interested in my book. “

Karly Kuranda, junior athletic training major, said she would not buy the book.

“The lottery has a very small chance of winning and even if you could increase your odds, the chance of winning still remains low,” Kuranda said.

Freshman history major Jose Ortiz said he would give the book a shot.

“If it means that I am that much closer to being a mega millionaire and I only have to buy a book I’ll do it,” Ortiz said.

Senior business major Sonya Wu said she would definitely not buy the book. Wu does not think she would profit from the book’s tips because the lottery is based on luck.

“I would suggest that my friends study and make money with knowledge that they will receive from education, not luck,” Wu said.
